Many (many) Finished Projects
Dec. 9th, 2009 07:41 pmThere has been much sewing accomplished over the last weekend. I finished three Works-In-Progress that needed sewing: a halter top from a few years back, a pencil bag I finished the knitting of in Vienna, and a purse that needed lining and a handle (the finished product is rather epic, I must say). I also finished a belt that needed it's ends melted off (nylon yarn, tough as nails, but it likes to unravel). I wore it the other day.
Being entirely unable to stop myself, I continued past WIPs and made myself a rollcase for my knitting needles (the straights and double points, anyway). I also fixed 3 pairs of jeans that had some holes, two shirts that had been ripped, and a pair of slacks for Dad.
Since then, I've made two and a half feet of my gift scarf, realized I need more audio books, and started a gift hat for my other sister. It amuses me that the hat will take maybe three days to do if I'm dedicated, but that the scarf can and probably will take twelve more days to make.
You can find pictures of all these and more at my Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/28962492@N04/
I recently took the GRE (graduate record examination). I think I did okay on it. My immediate scores (I took the test on the computer) were 1340 out of 1600. I'm pretty happy with it, but I feel that my math score could have been better. Darn preparation block! Still, it's way better than my practice test score. On the school search: I've found three schools to apply to. My goal is five to ten. Must keep working on it.
I'll probably be visiting my old college roomie in Texas in the next two weeks. We've been out of contact for a while, but reconnected on Thanksgiving. She just bought a new house, and I can't wait to see it!
Until next time,
Greeny
